John Tenta passed away yesterday after a bout of cancer. He is survived by his wife and three children.
Most of you would know him as "Earthquake" from his pro wrestling days. The man who was foe to Hulk Hogan, and of course, the dude who killed Jake The Snake's main squeeze, Damien.
His son, Jeff Tenta was a good friend of Aaron Richards (wigger, wiggy, etc.) as the Tenta's were residents of Surrey, BC before moving to Florida.
What I remember best was a few years back during the summer days, when Jeff apparently ran away from home, crossed the border illegally and took up residence in Wiggy's house. The story a few days after is when they were playing video games upstairs and heard a massive banging on the front door followed with a goliath of a holler demanding "JEFF!"
Imagine, looking out your window, and seeing Earthquake blood red with rage and trying to smash your front door in.
I wonder how well he would have stood up to a polar bear.
